Luo Qi quickly shook his head, "No, no, I was just talking nonsense, no, no."
Chu Ge smiled slightly, he understood the little tricks in Luo Qi’s heart. Luo Qi was very obsessed with dicine, and when he encountered sothing he didn’t understand or was curious about, he would definitely want to investigate thoroughly.
But it was really inconvenient for him to reveal the thods he used, otherwise, he would truly expose himself.
Luo Qi naturally understood this as well, and he sighed softly, "Alright, Mr. Chu, you should stay in the residence for a few more days; I’ve already sent people to make arrangents."
Chu Ge nodded, "Alright, I understand, thank you, Boss Luo."
...
At this mont, in the modern era, inside a private villa.
Nangong Yunxi sat on the sofa, quietly reading the newspaper, when Xia Xuan hurriedly ca in from outside.
"Yunxi, I know a way for Chu Ge to co back, we need to solve this problem quickly!"
As soon as Xia Xuan sat down, he spoke to Nangong Yunxi, panting heavily, without even having a drink.
Nangong Yunxi lifted his eyes indifferently and said nonchalantly, "I know everything you just said."
"What?" Xia Xuan was taken aback, "You know everything already?"
Nangong Yunxi nodded, "Yes, I know everything, and I’ve already made a choice. I’ve sent Ru Xue to the Fifth Space-Ti."
"Ru Xue?" Xia Xuan let out a long sigh of relief, "Ru Xue is clever, I believe she will successfully complete the mission."
He calculated the ti and added, "It’s been more than two months since Chu Ge and the others left, right?"
"Yes, there are twenty-three days left. If we can’t resolve Chu Ge during this ti, when they return to the modern era, our plan will be even more difficult."
Nangong Yunxi put down the newspaper, took a shallow sip from the teacup on the table, and continued, "Right now, for so unknown reason, the Huangpu Family has paused their new drug developnt plan, so we need to think of another way."
"Paused?"
Xia Xuan was puzzled, "Why pause? Did they say the reason?"
Nangong Yunxi shook his head, "I heard it’s because they received so information, which led to the pause."
"There must be soone causing trouble here, I’ll check it out later."
Xia Xuan pondered for a mont and said, "We’ve co this far, if drug developnt is paused or stopped, won’t that an our plan has to pause too?"
Nangong Yunxi shook his head again, "No, our plan doesn’t need to pause. Initially, we decided to leverage the Huangpu Family, to add the experintal drug into their new dicine. However, I’ve changed my mind now."
Xia Xuan never doubted Nangong Yunxi’s decisions, but this ti, Nangong Yunxi’s sudden change of plans made him sowhat dissatisfied, "Yunxi, we’ve co this far, wouldn’t stopping midway affect the entire plan?"
Nangong Yunxi laughed heartily a few tis, "Don’t worry, it won’t impact the entire plan. My plan is to take back everything that belongs to and then unify the Six Major Families, becoming the Dragon among Dragons. But now, I’ve added another goal."
Xia Xuan looked at Nangong Yunxi in confusion, asking, "What did you add?"
"I heard Ye Chen is back, did you know?" Nangong Yunxi asked hauntingly.
Xia Xuan was startled, then recalled seeing Ye Chen in Shanghai earlier, he nodded slightly, "I know, I saw him when I was in Shanghai."
"Back then, he betrayed Wufeng Palace and also Jianling Pavilion. Yet, Jian Chunqiu called him back, thinking he knows Wufeng Palace well and wants to deal with specifically."
Nangong Yunxi crossed his legs, one hand touching his chin, the other on the back of the sofa, "Since the Ancient Martial Arts are so eager to wipe us out, perhaps it’s ti for us to fight back."
Xia Xuan looked at Nangong Yunxi in shock, "You want to deal with the Ancient Martial Arts?"
Nangong Yunxi nodded, he noticed Xia Xuan’s surprised expression, and laughed, though his laughter was laced with icy coldness, "What, do you think I shouldn’t fight against the Ancient Martial Arts?"
"No, no, that’s not what I an."
Xia Xuan waved his hands hurriedly, "I was just a bit surprised. When the Old Palace Master handed over the position to you, he instructed that unless absolutely necessary, we shouldn’t confront the Ancient Martial Arts head-on."
Nangong Yunxi shook his head with a smile, "What situation really calls for ’absolutely necessary?’ Does our back need to be against the wall to call it ’absolutely necessary?’ Alright, I’ve already decided on this matter, you just need to follow my plan later."
Xia Xuan knew that no matter what he said, it wouldn’t change Nangong Yunxi’s mind, so he couldn’t say much more.
"Ye Chen is likely to co to Beijing shortly."
Nangong Yunxi told him, "Pay attention for the ti being, if he cos to the Capital City, monitor his every move."
"Okay, I understand."
Just as they finished talking, Yunxi ca down from upstairs. She yawned, having heard soone talking downstairs but couldn’t make out the words clearly. Upon seeing Nangong Yunxi and Xia Xuan in the living room, she greeted them and went to the kitchen.
Xia Xuan turned his head to glance at Yunxi and said, "This woman staying here is really inconvenient; our conversation just now..."
"Don’t worry, she didn’t hear our conversation just now."
Even if she did hear, it would only be the last few sentences. Even if she heard those words, it wouldn’t matter, at worst...
Nangong Yunxi slowly raised his hand, a dangerous glint in his eyes as he looked at his hand, if she knew sothing she shouldn’t, he wouldn’t hesitate to be ruthless.
Yunxi searched the kitchen thoroughly for sothing to eat but found nothing. Feeling her hungry stomach, she left the kitchen, ignoring Nangong Yunxi, and went upstairs to change clothes, preparing to go out for dinner.
Seeing her carefree deanor, Xia Xuan felt slightly relieved, judging by her appearance, she probably didn’t overhear.
"Alright, if there’s nothing else here, I’ll be leaving first."
Xia Xuan stood up, "I just got back from Shanghai and have many things to handle. After I finish, I’ll co to see you."
Of course, this sentence was ant for Yunxi, even though she couldn’t hear from upstairs.
After Xia Xuan left, Nangong Yunxi went to the balcony, the dazzling sunlight poured in, warming his body.
However, the cold aura emanating from him seed incompatible with the warmth, creating a chill within three ters of him.
When Yunxi ca downstairs, she shivered. She glanced towards Nangong Yunxi, said nothing, and walked out directly.
It had been nearly two months since her return, and apart from occasionally satisfying Nangong Yunxi’s needs at night, there was virtually no communication between them.
